Verdict
Benefique Royale brings the best form into this having finished fourth in a decent contest at Newbury last time. Tinker Time is a winning pointer and was fourth at Exeter on his debut under Rules. He's preferred to Line D'Aois, another with form between the flags, and Fontwell fifth Leave It Be but it would be no surprise to see BAR A MINE make a winning start. He's a half-brother to winning bumper and hurdler Bar De Ligne and will know what's required.
